New digi Mermay release from Sweet November Stamps

I was so excited to be asked by the lovely ladies at Sweet November Stamps to join them for this brand new Mermay digi stamp release. These mermaids and their friends are so much fun! This is the very beautiful Ashera

I loved colouring this beauty up with my copics. I used the following copics to colour her:

Hair: R85, R83, R81

Skin: V17, E35, E11

Eyes: BG49, BG05 

Tail: W9, W7, W5

For the background I die cut the rectangle with Heffy Doodle Whimsically wonky dies. Then used Meteorite shower nuvo shimmer powder. It is so much fun to use! I tipped a tiny bit onto the paper and then sprayed it with water to get this look. I had to put it under a big book to flatten the background out before I added my mermaid and the sentiment onto it. For the sentiment I used these white foam glitter letter stickers from Simply creative. I then coloured them with an alcohol marker to make them black and keep that glitter showing through.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Lil patch of crafty friends - Anything Goes

The fairy and the unicorn - Anything Fantasy goes

Gem of a challenge - Anything Goes

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog.

Playing with Nuvo shimmer powder

 

I had so much fun creating this card. Colouring up this stunning Digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps called Skipper Openwater. I coloured her with the following copic pens:

Tail: YR18, YR16, Y17

C7, C5, C3, C1, C0

Hair: C9, C7, C5, C3

Skin: E59, E57, E55, E53

Plus I made her tail sparkle with a Spectrum noir sparkle pen :)

This video shows how I made this amazing sparkly and fun background using Nuvo Blue Blitz and Atlantis Burst shimmer powders.

The sentiment is from another Sweet November Stamps set this time it is a clear set called Spring Fairies.

I am going to enter this card for the following challenges:

Monkeying around

I have been wanting to get these adorable little cheeky chaps onto cards for ages. For this first card I have used Paper addicts colour pop paper and some green card scraps torn to make kind of vines or leaves. Some yellow and orange Nuvo drops in the corners and coloured the monkey with the following Nuvo alcohol markers:

Skin:478,472,473

Fur:465,463,461

Banana: 405,401

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Through the craft room door - Anything goes 

Dream Valley - One for the boys

This second card I wanted to also try out some nuvo shimmer powder and I am so happy with the effect that it gives for the background. So you can expect to see me using them again :D

As well as the Nuvo shimmer powder I also finished the card with some more dark blue nuvo drops in the top corner and although you can't really see from the picture there is glossy accents on the balloon.
This little monkey has also been coloured using the following Nuvo alcohol markers:

Skin:478,472,473

Fur:465,463,461

Balloon: 430,428,427
